"Glad to be of help," Ironfire smiled, "and I look forward to seeing you again soon," he waved as Foxtrot departed, before gathering his new work orders and taking them back into his workshop and setting them apart, based on what needed to be done and when, as well as overall complexity. Once more he took out the strange designs for the odd, unique weapon. He wasn't even sure where to start on such a thing, but he pinned it to a noticeboard and took a hold of Foxtrot's katana. May as well start with the straight forward stuff.

Foxtrot nods at the blacksmiths answer, "Huh, I see. Well that covers all of the questions I have today. Ironfire I appreciate the service and information. I guess I'll stop by later in the week." Foxtrot then casually salutes him, "Until the sir you have a great week and I'll see you later." With that the unicorn makes his exit out of the store and continues the rest of his day.

"Nothing really formal outside of my mother and father, aside from normal school stuff," he shrugged at that, "didn't seem to need much more aside from that. I usually use books and the like to learn things that I haven't encountered before, like the odd blade I have this time," he elaborated, "as for certifications and what have you, it's just a generic store type permit which let's me operate a business here and has me paying tax. Though that was mostly set up by my father and was written over to me when he retired and I took over full time,"

Foxtrot looks over to Ironfire and approaches the counter with a small grin. "Yea those orders seem pretty time consuming. I just had one more question. I know your parents taught you the trade of smithing; but did you need to either get formal training on it or a city certification or something?"

"Very well. I'll see you in a few days then," Ironfire smiled, giving a wave to the departing White Wind as he collected the various work pieces from her and his notes to put to one side in the forge before returning to talk with Foxtrot once more, "today has certainly given me a few things to keep me busy," he chuckled, "since you stuck around, I'm guessing you weren't done asking questions yourself,"

"Very well." White says, loosely wrapping the weapons in the cloth she brought them in with. "That is good enough. Over a week would have been a bit worse. I leave this all here, and bring you the payment when i retrieve the weapons." White heads towards the door. "I let you two get back to your things. We can discuss that commission once you've done your research. Oh, by the way." White turned back to Iron "Leave my tab open. If my colleague succeeds in what she ventured out to do, you'll have more customers soon." With that, White turned back towards the door, greeted Foxtrot on her way out with a simple nod, and disappeared back to the crowd of the city

"I've got a couple of other jobs lined up too," he apologised, "but I should be able to finish them in about 5 days time," he offered, "that should give me the time needed to look into this one too," he explained, again, indicating the parchment and designs.

White Wind listened Iron listing the prices, giving a nod as confirmation that she accepts it after each number was spoken. At the unsure answer on the exotic request, White just shook her head. "Don't sweat it. I already told you that it's not in a hurry. I can hear your estimated price when i retrieve these three. How's your schedule? When do you think you can get these three done?"

"Those three," he indicated the worn and damaged weapons, "the sharpening and rebinding will run about 150 to 200 bits. The broken sword is looking more towards the 4 to 500 range, depending on how easy or difficult to core decides to be on replacing it,"

With those, he looked over the parchment and once more took ahold of his notebook to make further notes, "for this... I don't know," he admitted, "there's too many things I'm unsure of about it's construction to even begin to estimate the price, and most of that is centred on it's twin element ability," he explained, "without knowing the exact means of it's workings, it'll be hard to judge work and material costs," he continued, "but, as I said, I had a few metals in mind for that type of temperature resistance, so to give you an idea," he gave another pause, this time jotting down numbers for the required volumes of metal and then flicking through several pages to look up prices on obscure metals that weren't all that often used, "hmm... probably 872 bits range. Though that's just the materials," he look apologetically at her, "give me a couple of days to conduct some research and I'll be able to come to a more accurate figure to account for labour and whatever the elemental control is," he smiled, hoping he had provided satisfactory information, though he himself was annoyed that he hadn't come across a weapon or device like this before.
